Tobias POV:
"Four, where's Tris?" Eric asks, walking over to me.
"She went home, she's not well." I reply.
"Yep, practically passed out before lunch."
My heart aches for Tris-I didn't know that she felt that sick.
The second half of training goes slowly. All I can think about is if Tris is okay. I need to pack up quickly so I can check on her.
When training finally ends Eric offers to pack up for me-despite being slightly untrustworthy, he's not such a bad guy. I thank him and head straight home. When I'm about half way I run into Zeke and Shauna.
"Hey, do you and Tris want to come round to ours for some truth or dare?" Zeke asks.
"Sorry, I think we'll pass. Tris isn't feeling well. But you guys have fun." I say, walking backwards so I can continue to get home.
"Oh, her too. Uriah's not feeling overly flash either." Shauna says. "Tell her we hope she feels better."
I thank them before quickly heading off home.
I open the apartment door to see Tris lying on her side with her eyes open.
"Can't sleep?" I ask as I close the door quietly behind me.
Tris shakes her head and continues to steer into nothingness.
"Turns out Uriah's sick too." I say.
"Really?" Tris says quietly as I crawl into bed next to her and she rolls over.
Tris opens her mouth to say something else, but a cough escapes instead. Her body buckles with every chesty cough, her eyes are shut tight and her arm is over her mouth. I put wrap my arm around her shoulder to comfort her. Eventually, she stops coughing and nestles her head into my chest. I wrap my other arm around her.
"Try and get some sleep." I whisper and kiss the top of her head.
Minutes later the rhythm of Tris's breathing changes and she is fast asleep.
